[ Hands raised ] It is approved. Okay, next is review of the previous minutes from February 11, 2021. Are there any first off are there any corrections? Okay the only thing I saw reading through them was on the 5th page under number four. A couple of typos revised communications needs a Y make it policy and right below that procurement review needs to spell out policy. Other than that, if we have no corrections, I would entertain a motion to adopt the minutes as presented MC motion, Doug second. All in favor raise your hand. [ Hands raised ] They are approved. Any correspondence Sue that we need to discuss today? >> Sue: There is no correspondence today. >> Steve: So the public knows we did receive one correspondence that I will make some comment on. So that people know that we really do read them. And this one had to do with the communities of interest. And this individual's thoughts on how to do mapping. We are clearly under the constitutional amendment as to the things that we have to consider, and as such we will, in fact, consider those when we are doing our mapping as well as the voting rights act.

The primary focus of realtime captioning is general communication access and as such this document is not suitable, acceptable, nor is it intended for use in any type of legal proceeding. And thank you for your continuing work to for fair nonpartisan redistricting provided for your discussion today are three resolutions one is for adopting the FOIA guidelines and procedures which is Freedom of Information Act. Adopting a communication plan and also adopting the procurement review procedures and guidelines. We are moving along with our process for selecting consultants. The internal staff committee met yesterday and I will get the Rankings and rationale report and those proposals to the mapping committee by tomorrow. So you will have plenty of time to review them for your meeting, which is next Tuesday afternoon from 1-3 on February 23rd. The plan is for the committee to bring their recommendations for bidder presentations back to this group next Thursday and then have those presentations the following Thursday which would be March 4th. Yesterday afternoon was the deadline to receive bids for VRA legal counsel however we didn't receive any bids so our internal staff committee is meeting this afternoon and we are going to look at ways to move forward with seeking VRA counsel, so we will get back with the Commission next week on some options for ways to seek consultants to fill this gap that we have. Also I've provided today the Princeton budget memo. It gives you a sense of what they felt might be the costs for this Commission. As we get our mapping proposal and other consultant proposals in, we can build out our budget more effectively knowing those numbers. So those are just for your review. We won't have any discussion today on that. And lastly our ice breaker for today is what three words best describe you? And do I have a volunteer to start today? Or Commissioner Dustin can you start us? >> Dustin: Sure. So three words that describe me would be, I'm thinking, outgoing. Outgoing. Loyal. And patient. >> Sue: All good qualities. Thank you, Richard, how about you? >> Richard: That's a tough one. I guess it's all on who you talk to. If you are asking somebody else. I guess I'm not really sure.
